Ertlif – Ertlif 1972 Switzerland, Progressive Rock

In Switzerland, there weren't just the halberd-bearing guards that the Pope took for himself to stay protected behind the Vatican walls, but back in the day, between '70 and '78, there was also a progressive band heavily influenced by British psychedelic rock, so much so that they were, in some ways, compared to the more famous and acclaimed "Pink Floyd".

This was their first self-titled album, released in 1972, featuring Teddy Riedo on bass, Danny Andrey on guitars, James Mosberger on keyboards, Hans Borlin on percussion, and the singer/guitarist Richard Rusinski.

Their style was described as a blues-prog-psychedelic rock (incorporating keyboards such as a sumptuous Hammond organ, a Mellotron, and an electric piano), with a dose of Krautrock & hard rock.

In addition to the already mentioned "Pink Floyd," the music of these "Ertlif" can also be compared to the German band "Jane" and to another semi-unknown Swiss group, "Exit".

La Confessione di Erri De Luca I found this short interview with Enrico very interesting. He is a point of reference for those few or many who still seek something beautiful in this existence, and it ends with the reading of a message to an orangutan in a zoo in Indonesia.

Jimi Hendrix - BBC Sessions - Love Or Confusion (Official Audio)

"Love or confusion" is the fifth track on "Are You Experienced," the debut album by "The Jimi Hendrix Experience," which was released on May 12th, 1967 in the UK. The album was awarded 1 gold record and 4 platinum records, and this was the lineup:

Johnny Allen "Jimi" Hendrix on vocals, guitar, and piano
Noel David Redding on bass and vocals
& John Graham "Mitch" Mitchell on drums and percussion.

"Love or confusion"

Are those the stars in the sky or is it raining far away from now?
Will it burn me if I touch the sun, so bitter, so round?
Will I be truthful if, yes, in choosing you as the only one for me?

Is this love, baby
Or is it just confusion?

Oh, my mind is so confused, it's spinning more and more
There must be all these colors with no names, with no sounds?
My heart burns with feeling but
Oh, but my mind is cold and wavering

Is it love, baby
Or is it confusion?

Oh, my head is aching
It's spinning more and more, more and more, more and more
Must there always be these colors?

JAPAN - TIN DRUM (SIDE B)

JAPAN - TIN DRUM (SIDE A)

David Alan & Stephen Batt, Andonis Michaelides, and Richard Barbieri formed JAPAN in 1974. They broke up eight years later due to various disagreements, only to reunite one last time in 1991 to record a single album, "Rain Tree Crow," which gave its name to the new band.

This "Tin Drum" from 1981 was their 5th studio album, recorded before their split the following year (talk about "cherchez la femme"—it seems that due to personality conflicts that led to growing tensions within the group, the long-standing differences between the band members reached their peak when Mick Karn's girlfriend moved in with David Sylvian).

Sex Pistols - No Fun (Live From Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco, USA / 1978)
During their first and last tour in the States, John Lydon became increasingly isolated from the rest of the group because of the schemes of their manager (not to name names, the late Malcolm Robert Andrew McLaren, who once said on TV that "Jesus is a sausage," but that's another story...), who, according to the band members, was banking on Sid Vicious's self-destructive attitude for the band's success.

On January 14, 1978, it was him who put an end to the "Sex Pistols" adventure during their last concert in San Francisco (see video above).

During the concert, you can notice a certain lack of energy from Johnny Rotten, who finally, sitting on the edge of the stage, sings this song (a cover of the "Stooges"), literally entitled: "Not Fun or No Fun," and before leaving the stage shouts to the audience:
"A-ha-ha!

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

Good night!" letteralmente: pubblico:

Public Image Ltd (PiL) - Hawaii (official promo video)

In the '70s, John Joseph Lydon aka Johnny Rotten set the music scene on fire with the "Sex Pistols".

He was fury given voice.

Chaos turned into art.

The scream of a generation that wanted to destroy everything.

But life, far from the stage, showed that his greatest act of rebellion was not punk.

It was love.

Years later, a photograph captured him sitting in the waiting room at Los Angeles airport.
Ingrandisci questa immagine
No makeup, no guitars, no poses.

A silent man with a tired face.

He had just lost Nora, his wife since '77.

She, daughter of an influential German publisher and a key figure in the rock scene, died at eighty after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.

Lydon personally took care of her until the end.

He, the icon of disorder, became the guardian of tenderness.

The song with which he competed to represent Ireland at Eurovision, "Hawaii," was not for the public.

It was for Nora.

A whisper turned into melody, a farewell disguised as a song.

But their love story doesn’t end here.

Years earlier, he adopted the three children of Ariane Daniela Forster aka Ari Up (Nora’s daughter, legendary singer of "The Slits") after her death from cancer, two of whom had grown up in the jungle, without schooling or structured language; the third had lost his father in a shooting.

Lydon, who never believed in the conventional family, decided to give them a home.
"I couldn’t leave them like that," he said.

"A little love can do a lot."

Punk has always been pure attitude, but Lydon showed that the most radical form of resistance wasn’t shouting at the system.

It was taking care.

It was staying.

It was loving when no one makes you do it.

And so, the man who set music on fire with rage ended up writing his legacy with compassion.

Sometimes the most powerful revolution is the silent one, sitting in a waiting room, heartbroken, remembering the woman who walked by his side all his life...

'Epitaph'

He was born;
he was always alone among so many people;
in many words he fell silent;
then he died,
he took his leave of the sun.
